Western Massachusetts Legislative Summit 2016

Once again the League is a cosponsor of the Legislative Summit as we did in 2014.  The event will run from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM on December 3rd at the JFK Middle School in Florence. There will be a wonderful free lunch that’s “Fresh and Local”, donated by the wonderful farms and restaurants in the region.  If subgroups want to make action plans, we are holding the space until 3:00 PM. We also will sponsor follow-up meetings in 2017 and 2018 during the legislative session as part of an annual event that HCOG and FRCOG sponsor with Senator Rosenberg in Northampton.  Possible topics being discussed are agriculture, broadband, economic development and possibly infrastructure.  Group discussions on these topics will take place after a keynote speaker.  Groups will then presents summaries of their discussions.  At the end of the summit the invited legislators from Western Massachusetts will speak to those issues and about their priorities for the coming year.  More information will follow.
